MaterialViews has New Features to Help Materials Scientists Keep up with the Latest Research

MaterialsViews.com, the news service from Wiley
covering the latest developments in materials science, chemistry, and physics,
has been updated with new features that help materials scientists keep up with
the latest research.

MaterialsViews.com's professional scientific editors scan the materials
science, chemistry, and physics literature, looking for the most interesting,
exciting, and relevant breakthroughs in all of materials science as soon as they
are published. They then distil the best papers into concise summaries that can
be quickly scanned and uploaded on to the website, so busy scientists can
identify the papers they want to spend more time reading.

The new MaterialsViews.com, with its improved navigation and layout, will
also enable readers to find articles more quickly. It's new individual channels
for hot subject areas - including nanotechnology, polymers, energy, electronics,
photonics, surfaces, and more - let scientists focus on the stories most
relevant to their research.

"Scientists could spend so much time reading papers relevant to their
research that they wouldn't have time for anything else, so we updated the site
to make it even easier to find key results." said Adrian Miller, editor of
MaterialsViews.com. "And once you find something interesting, we want you to be
able to process it quickly and decide whether you want to invest more time
reading the original paper."

It will also easier to find upcoming events and conferences on the revamped
website. The new MaterialsViews.com jobs page can also help scientists locate
the perfect career opportunity anywhere in the world.

Single Wall Carbon Nanotubes (SWCNTs) are extremely effective additives for improving the conductivity of polymer based materials. When compared to the current most popoular additive, carbon black, they are up to 1,000 times more powerful and don't result in any loss in material strength.

With a multitude of different designs on offer, determining what hot zone is best for your application is becoming increasingly difficult. To address this problem, Plansee have developed a range of three different, customizable, hot-zones.

The Metals edition of Aeris is PANalytical’s X-ray diffractometer for everyone in the metals industry. With Aeris X-ray diffraction (XRD) becomes as easy as making a cup of coffee: Aeris is the most intuitive benchtop diffractometer with the results of your measurements directly being displayed on the built-in touch screen.
